Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent lowering of separating and transporting capacity and contamination due to shaving dust by providing a sheet separating device of a copying machine, comprising a pair of rotors in which a plurality of endless bodies are disposed like the teeth of a comb, the peripheral edge portions of the endless bodies not being rectangular. CONSTITUTION:The peripheral edge portions of a transport roller 1 and a separation roller 2 form slopes 1a, 2a, respectively. In this arrangement, a sheet P is bent in the form of a soft wave, so that the force of the sheet P applied to the rollers 1, 2 is separated by the slopes 1a, 2a, to reduce the force per unit area. Accordingly, the peripheral edge portions 1a, 2a of the rollers 1, 2 are prevented from being shaved irregularly, so as to prevent lowering of separating capacity and transport capacity, and further shaving dust is decreased to prevent contamination of a sheet.

In this sheet separation device, in order to increase the sheet conveyance force and separation force, the overlap amount t between the conveyance side roller 1 and the separation side roller 2 shown in FIG. 1 is increased. If it is made larger, the amount of waveform bending of sea) P shown in Fig. 2 will also increase, and the
The reaction force from the sheet P applied to the 0 peripheral portion also increases. For this reason, the peripheral edge of the row 21112 is scraped irregularly, resulting in a significant deterioration in separation performance and conveyance performance, and also has drawbacks such as scraped powder staining the sheet surface.
